While alternative energy options for fleets are increasingly focused on plug-in electric vehicles,
hydrogen offers another option for electrification using fuel cells. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) are no longer vehicles of the future—they are available today. This training provides an overview of FCEV technology and how it can be utilized for federal fleets. Fueling infrastructure options and safety considerations are included in the training.
